Have been unable to post updates till now because of other commitments, but it now appears that decay is likely to be tomorrow our time. Thanks to Daniel for updating the info on his website. It is still up there and we have some daylight passes again tomorrow our time, so still worth watching: first pass 1919 UTC if decay has not occurred before then, it could in fact still be too high. But the time comes out somewhere in the middle between Space Track's updated prediction and Daniel's one, so wait and see! I will only be in a position to report if anything is seen in which case I will make a point of reporting, (and will be too excited not to!) otherwise I have other commitments, so if nothing is heard by around 1930 UTC you can assume that all was quiet.
